You Canadians must have the massivesterest trucks on the planet to fit three whole trees in there. Me, I'm hoping to get a micro-scrounge in tomorrow with a lame Subaru and feeble trailer. I will, however, take the proper number of pics.

This is one of my over flow areas. This stuff will get me threw the rest of the cold months and whatever is left will go on the racks. Figure I have enough unsplit oak to fill this most of the way again.I declare my cutting season is OPEN. Back out to Von's to continue clearing that willow grove. Be taking the MS193, 210, 310 and 441. New MS362 stays home. I still haven't even fired it up, bought it about a month ago. Cleaning up burn piles and possible felling the first tree of the season. That one will land partially in the crop but owner doesn't care, just wants all t]he trees outa there!
Sold 2 1/2 cord of willow and 1 cord locust, delivered the locust today with plans to prepare the saws and tools for tomorrow but was late when I got back, will have to do it in the morning. That will mean a late start but it'll do for a season opener.

Wait, wait, wait. You have a new pony in the stable and you're not going to let it gallop?

I didn't think scrounging season ever closed.

Top right of the page beside your inbox is Alerts. Click it then scroll down to bottom to preferences. Then uncheck all the email notifications.
If I don't want to get emails on a particular thread I just unwatchable that thread, then I watch it again and say alerts only. If I got emails for every thread I'm watching I would be in trouble, as it is I clean out hundreds of emails a week as part of my normal email
.
tried that. I had everything except 'when someone quotes your message' and 'when someone mentions you' unticked and saved but still been getting loads of emails. i've now unticked absolutely everything and saved....lets see what happens.
forget, it....seen it...top right
Crap I kept thinking this was trying to prompt me to rewatch the thread lol
Lol! i'm not the only one then!
right, thanks to chipper i think i'ved saved my inbox...fingers crossed

That's funny, but what isn't funny is how confused I was when I clicked on the attachment to see what you were talking about and then I was wondering what was up
.Back when they first came out with smart phones we would screenshot a picture of someones home screen and leave the camera open, when they opened their phone they couldn't figure it out
. Then they put passcodes on their phones lol.Hope it helps Neil.
You don't need a bunch of emails coming in from unimportant threads disturbing your scrounge time
.Didn't need it, that comesd tomorrow with noodling a bunch of rounds still there from last year.
Not a good day today out there. Age really showed up. 2 hours of stoopinp to pick up chunks, tossing or carrying, etc and I cleaned 3 burn piles into one. Totally beat out. Back tomorrow but with the truck hauling my mesh wagon to clean up some more, noodle those rounds, stack same. I should last a bit better as there'll be lest traveling between the trash and the disposal pile.
I was so tired that when I cooled down by playing "that tree will go t here, this one here, another over there, I wasn't even tempted to pull out the 441 and make one happen.
Now you know why I try and stay "Saw and firewood" active every weekend so that that "Chainsaw" muscles stay fit during the slow season for when I get a call to clear a house lot lol
BTW , that first lot job of the season always sucks ...

So , to keep that chainsaw muscle memory going I made a beeline to the "Gym" on Sunday , I had the whole "Gym" all to myself lol
I hoped to find a stick or two on this old skid trail that leads to an old logging road .
Black Spruce !!!
Weird weather , one minute a snowsquall , sunshine the next .
When I got to the old road I had a look around for some scrounge stuff , found plenty
Sure is nice having the "Gym" to myself .

But , I wasn't the only that scrounged on the road
The porcupine were busy , they cleaned the bark off of every small tamarack on both sides , all you saw was bright yellow sticks down the road when the sun was out .
I went down the road a bit and cut some maple and birch to finish off the load of spruce
And then went home the way I came
Yup , had the "Gym" all to myself

Got more of that oak split up by hand today. Practiced bore cutting for my next tree take down. Was going to clean out behind the clutch on my 590. Well, I did but when I put it all back together the E clip went flying.
I looked and looked and looked and got tired of looking so I ordered one on eBay. Figured while my saw was down for a little while I would finally pull the muffler and do a minimal mod right now and work my way to my liking. Right now just drilled 2 holes in the tube to try and open up a little bit then I’ll work my way to more extreme as I go. Don’t want it ear splitting loud, but do want it to breath better.
Anywho. Got back to splitting and I probably got 1/3 of it split by hand today and then pulled my car out to get supper. Low and behold I found the E clip and got it all back together. Going to try and put her in some wood in a few days and tune and run the two drilled holes for a while before I change.
All in all a good day.
Oh also his came flying out of one of the pieces I split today. Not sure what type of bug it turns into lol. It was in red oak if that helps.
